80% of ERP implementation consultancy is disappearing! According to studies, the rise of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for ERP means that implementation costs, which used to be 5-10 times the cost of licenses, are now only 10-20% of traditional on-premise implementation costs. Additionally, 50% of existing independent software vendors will no longer exist by 2012 as SaaS solutions become more popular. This has major implications for both ERP vendors and implementation consultants.
